“Many people are unhappy and are not experiencing life to its fullest
because they’ve closed their hearts to compassion,
they are motivated by only what they want and what they think they need.
They rarely do anything for anybody else unless they have
an ulterior goal in mind. They are self-involved and self-centered.”
~~ Joel Osteen ~~
Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; who pardons all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases; who redeems your life from the pit; who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; who staisfies your years with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle.
Psalm 103:1-5
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. Just as a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him. For He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust.
Psalm 103:11-14
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand.
John 10:27-28
Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.
1 Timothy 6:17-19
And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Do you realize crochet hooks can be dangerous?
Once I tried to put a comfort cushion on one of my tiny steel hooks to make it easier to work with. While trying to insert the hook into the cushion, the hook slipped and stabbed into my palm. The bad thing was that I couldn't simply pull it out because the hook kept grabbing the tendons in my hand. Thankfully, this did not require an emergency room visit... as my cousin helped me get it out. So... be careful !

"Hi Lisa, What is the difference between regular crochet and afghan stitch?
Thank you."
<< reply >>
When you do regular crochet you work each stitch... one at a time.
With afghan stitch you work the first part of the stitch for an entire row
and then work the stitches off.
I have an Afghan Stitch Dishcloth pattern here:
http://www.crochetnmore.com/afghanstitchdishcloth.htm
I tend to stick with regular crochet myself though.

RE: help w/double trouble
Help!!! This is my third dishcloth and I am a new crocheter at age 57.
What fun!! I wanted a dishcloth w/a more open weave and chose
Double Trouble. I have had quite a time learning which space to go
into to make the stitches. Right now my dishcloth looks like a ruffle!
What did I do wrong! Although very pretty it doesn't look "right".
I am getting ready to repeat rows 2-5 twice but did now want to
continue if I am going to have to take a lot of it out.
Please help!
Eternally grateful for any advice,
Junine Adkins
<< reply >>
The dishcloth should not ruffle up.
When did it begin to ruffle?

I'm a out to start on the dog sweater you made for your Schotzi,
i'm using the adjusted pattern for my Chihuahua Lucy.
One question I had was, is Red Heart ok to use for this?
Thanks for the great pattern!
Sylvia L. Vasquez-Ellis
<< reply >>
Red Heart is fine for this project. The pattern is adjustable so
pretty much any worsted or even a sport weight yarn would work well.
<< Sylvia's Reply >>
I finished the sweater and i love the way it came out!
I posted a picture of my dog wearing it on my page.
I'm starting another one in a different color.
Thanks so much for this great, easy project. :)

Subject: Linking Question
Hi,
I am the person behind http://dishandwashclothmania.com/
May I please have your permission to add links to your patterns at
http://www.crochetnmore.com/ to my site.
I am strict about obeying copyright laws and only add links, not patterns.
Thank you for considering my request.
Norma
<< reply >>
Yes, you may link to any of my pattern pages.
All links are appreciated.
Thank you for not reposting the patterns we offer.
Could you direct me to an area on how to learn the definitions on
crochet abbreviations for crochet & knitting patterns.
I'm totally lost when it comes to patterns.
I know how to knit & crochet creating my own simple style.
But if I want to crochet or knit someones pattern I have to
know how to read a pattern which I have never learned to do.
Looking at a crochet or knitted project does not help me to
figure out how to create the same.
My Daughter likes my self made crochet numerous doilies
I have around the house. She ask me to crochet place mats
using crochet yarn. Also wants hot pads made from the same yarn.
The color she prefers is blue sky/silver combination crochet yarn.
Haven't had much luck finding that exact color or many of the same
color to create 10 place mats and 3 hot pads.
Have a concern that crochet yarn is not the correct yarn to place
hot items on. Shouldn't there be a more heat resistant yarn
used for the hot pad!
Would appreciate your input on this matter.
Awaiting your response.
Thank you.
Regards,
Marianne
<< reply >>
You may refer to our Crochet Basics page which includes numerous crochet
stitch abbreviations and instructions:
http://www.crochetnmore.com/123basics.htm
The Craft Yarn Council has a section on basic knit and crochet:
http://www.craftyarncouncil.com/getting_started.php3
this page also has a section on reading patterns.
If you come across a stitch abbreviation you aren’t sure of you
can search for that abbreviation along with the word “crochet”
and should get a list of sites that explain that stitch. If you see crochet
language you can’t interpret... email me the confusing part of the pattern.
I have made hot pads using 100% acrylic yarn but many do not recommend it.
According to this page:
http://www.woolcrafting.com/acrylic.html
acrylic will melt around 500 degrees.
Personally, I never bake anything above about 425 and haven’t had any problems
using the items I’ve made using acrylic yarn but still prefer hot pads and dish cloths
to be made using 100% cotton yarn.
You can see the colors of cotton yarn available in the Sugar and Cream brand here:
http://sugarncream.com/product.php?LGC=sugarncream&SPP=999
I’ve seen many shades of blue yarn and a few silver yarns also but not a sky blue/silver
yarn. Hope you find a yarn color you like. If not, maybe you can use both colors
for your pattern... either held together at once or alternated to form a pattern.
In the DOUBLE RUFFLE GRANNY BABY AFGHAN,
for the ruffle the pattern says to work in the BLO of each stitch.
What is a BLO?
Thanks!
Rita
<< reply >>
BLO is the abbreviation for “back loop only”.
When working into a stitch we normally work into
both loops on the top of the stitch. The back loop
is the loop farthest from you.
RE: emmas easy baby booties
I'm trying to do up a pair of these baby booties. They are absolutely beautiful. So dainty & frilly. However, I don't get how the front part/toe of the bootie connects to the back part/heel on the 2 sides, say where the arch is. Can you please enlighten me?
Pat
<< reply >>
When the ribbon is inserted it draws the bootie together.
The heel and toe do not actually join.
Hope you enjoyed this pattern.
Feel free to visit CNM and /or email me anytime.
Re: CROCHET N MORE NEWSLETTER Vol. XIV, Issue 19
THank you so much Lisa! Both are just beautiful.
You did a great job!! God bless Emmy
I have to tell you that your Crochet n' more web site is my personal daily therapy.
When I am down, out, upset, depressed because of many different things going

pain & fatigue I come to your web site and get a good dose of ''pick-me-up''; be
it from designs, pictures, postings, scripture... There is always something.
Its like getting a hug. That is the only way I can put into words.
Thank you & God Bless!!

<< reply >>
You’re very welcome Tracy.
Thank you so much for such an inspiring email.
May God smile on you today and may you find comfort in Him.
RE: Thanks
Several months ago, I ran across your website, while searching for crocheted
baby blanket afghans. My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was
eight years old but unfortunately, through the years, the ‘busy pace of life’
has taken me away from this enjoyable & productive past-time. After
finding your website, I was going to get real ‘industrious’ & start crocheting
again but have to confess, I have not succeeded. The Lord has allowed me
the opportunity to be full-time health caregiver for my elderly mom,
therefore, there seems to be few hours in the day to get back into the
leisure & relaxing craft of crocheting. However, I would like to commend
you for your excellent website & your loyalty to Christ in sharing your
faith with others. If more websites would present the truth, what a different
world this would be.
May God continue to bless you,
You are deeply loved, completely forgiven,
fully pleasing, totally accepted by God, absolutely complete in Christ!
Trusting in Him,
Jennifer, Westlake, LA

me and my family in many ways.

How do I end a row and turn and start next single crochet row?
My sides are all in even!!
Thank you,
Reedi
<< reply >>
To begin a new row with a single crochet
you chain 1 and work the first single crochet
into the stitch directly beneath the chain.

RE: Baby Beanie
I like your baby beanie hat very much. I do not understand row 3.
(Slip stitch bet next 2 stitches.) I have not seen that abbreviation
before in anything I have crocheted . I would appreciate
your help n explaining it to me.
Thank you
Jean
<< reply >>
bet means “between”.
Work in between the posts of the stitches.
RE: Dishcloth
I did not find an error, but have a question.
Have you developed a border to go around this dishcloth?
It's a beautiful pattern and I just completed my first one from
this pattern. Although I have been crocheting for over 35 years,
I prefer the quick and easy ones. I am making these for Christmas gifts.
Thank you,
Peggy Lee
<< reply >>
I did not add a border for this pattern because I liked
the way the uneven edges looked. You can incorporate
your favorite edging if you like.
Glad you’re enjoying the pattern.

This book
is a wonderful addition to any crochet library.
I've had numerous requests over the years of what to crochet for
boys.
Crobots are definitely the answer!
This 96-page book is filled with numerous types of Crobot patterns
as well as well-illustrated instructions for the
crochet stitches, assembly stitches and other embellishments used
in the patterns.
The patterns are well written, some of the book is written in a
small font but the pictures are wonderful. NOTE:
This book comes to you with a safety warning regarding the small
parts used in the patterns.
Therefore, please use your own discretion as to the age of the child
you intend the gift for.
I have to tell you about this new book.
SweaterBabe.com's Fabulous & Flirty Crochet
I'm so happy to have it in my crochet library.Katherine Lee has an eye for style and a definite knack for creating
beautiful crochet patterns.
I was really happy with the large colorful project photos.
There's something for everyone!
The aspect of Fabulous and Flirty Crochet that stood out to me was
the section on the yarns
used in the patterns. One page shows "actual size" photos
of the yarns which makes it super
easy to substitute other yarns if you want to. For those who stay
strictly to the recommended
yarn in a pattern Katherine has included a yarn resource list. The
projects are very fashionable
and perfect for gift giving... though I'm sure you'll have to make
something for yourself :o)
I can't wait to try the Flirty Skirt and the Ruffled Strap Tank.

"Laughter is an instant vacation." - Milton Berle
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Mother decided that 10-year-old Cathy should get
something 'practical' for her birthday.
"Suppose we open a savings account for you?"
mother suggested. Cathy was delighted.
"It's your account, darling," mother said as they arrived at the bank,
"so you fill out the application."
Cathy was doing fine until she came to the space for
'Name of your former bank.' After a slight hesitation, she put down 'Piggy.'
My girlfriend took her five-year-old daughter shopping with her.
The little girl watched her mother try on outfit after outfit,
exclaiming every time, "Mommy, you look beautiful."
A woman in the next fitting room called out,
"May I borrow your daughter for a moment?"
Hal and Mike are old golfing buddies and
one day Hal shows up with a new putter.
Mike says, "Isn't that a new putter Hal?
Hal says, "Yep, it's new!"
Mike says, "Well what happened to your
old one?"
Hal says, "Couldn't swim!!!"
I was looking through my closet for something
to wear, but nothing was calling out to me. So
I sought my three-year-old's opinion. "What do
you think I should change into?" I asked.
He thought awhile before replying, "A butterfly."
A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large
city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space
with a meter. Then he put a note under the windshield wiper
that read: "I have circled the block 10 times. If I don't
park here, I'll miss my appointment. Forgive us our
trespasses."
When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer
along with this note: "I've circled this block for 10 years.
If I don't give you a ticket I'll lose my job. 'Lead us not
into temptation.' "
Little Johnny asked his Grandma how old she was.
Grandma answered, "39 and holding."
Johnny thought for a moment, and then said, "And how old would you be if you let go?"
When my three-year-old son opened the birthday gift from his Grandmother, he discovered a water pistol. He squealed with delight and headed for the nearest sink.
I was no so pleased. I turned to Mom and said, "I'm surprised at you. Don't you remember how we used to drive you crazy with water guns?"
Mom smiled and then replied... "I remember!!"
A little boy in church for the first time watched as the ushers passed around the offering plates. When they came near his pew, the boy said loudly, "Don't pay for me daddy, I'm under five."
One Easter Sunday morning as the minister was preaching the children's sermon, he reached into his bag of props and pulled out an egg. He pointed at the egg and asked the children, "What's in here?"
"I know!" A little boy exclaimed. "Pantyhose!!"
"Do you believe in life after death?" The boss asked one of his employees.
"Yes, Sir," the new employee replied.
"Well, then, that makes everything just fine," the boss went on.
"After you left early yesterday to go to your Grandmother's funeral, she stopped in to see you!"
It was Palm Sunday and, because of sore throat, five-year-old Johnny stayed home from church with a sitter. When the family returned home, they were carrying several palm branches. The boy asked what they were for. “People held them over Jesus’ head as he walked by.”
“Wouldn’t you know it,” the boy fumed, “The one Sunday I don’t go, He shows up!”
